BlueAvenue Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Where did it come from? It appears to be the result of somebody's modding. It is stunningly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbic Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 From the tiny picture that actually looks pretty damn good. I might throw this into a VM just to see how it looks. Maybe I'll consider replacing my current Boot Camp XP install... woot. @Colonel: Who cares if it's a Vista clone? As long as it's still XP under all the bling then I'll take it over Vista any day.

Synaesthesia Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This looks sweet, I'm downloading it now! I've found a whole bunch of these "Windows XP Essential" torrents, with varying sizes (508-595mb) and descriptions, and version no's. But the best seeded one is the 545.08 version mentioned here... Can't wait to check it out, this looks exactly right for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermatea Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I believe someone named Jackdilla was the original creator of the unattended XP install disc that passes WGA. Everyone else just took that and slipstreamed apps and GUI mods and such. If you want it, go to the usual places and search for "Jackdilla". If you're lucky enough to get it, you should use that to create your own XP mod. I used that and added WMP11 and IE7. That's about it, since adding a lot of things to the install disc can mess a lot of things up so beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 DON'T!! The graphics is not all it is made out to be! I ran it on my Dell it's old XP with an overlay, and not a good one in my opinion! Some of the buttons looks like they were cut&pasted in and you can get the modified theme and apply it to your own installation REALLY, really disappointing! SticMAN From the tiny picture that actually looks pretty damn good.
